See the documentation for DISA, it is restricted by context. So assuming you already have your dialplan configured securely, there are no security implications.
Be aware that the behavior of the phones change when you dial through DISA, you can no longer use features such as "redial." That is because the SIP call the phone places is to that extension, and DISA takes the DTMF signals after the call is already answered. Another option could be to auto-dial call pickup and make the users dial on-hook (if the phone can do that). I have something like that on my Polycom 501 for shared line appearance (i need to take it off -- SLA currently is very poor, caller id is broken, for one). When I pickup my Polycom it dials the shared line. When I dial on-hook it calls without using the shared line.
